Specifications

Replacement for the Projector Cycling Mechanism

The clutch spring is a small but important mechanical component in the cycling system of compatible early Kodak slide projectors.

When servicing an older projector with cycling or tray-advance problems, inspect the clutch spring along with the surrounding mechanism for wear, damage, or incorrect operation.

Replacing a damaged spring with the correct part helps restore proper mechanical operation without replacing unrelated components.

Compatible Kodak Projectors

Part 220845 is specified for pre-1980 Kodak slide projectors, including:

• Kodak Carousel 600

• Kodak Carousel 700

• Kodak Carousel 800

• Kodak Ektagraphic AF

Because Kodak produced numerous projector versions over many years, compare the existing part and projector model before ordering.

Replaces Earlier Part 171557

Kodak parts references identify 220845 as the clutch spring associated with earlier Part 171557.

This older part number can be useful when working from an original Kodak service manual or parts diagram that predates the 220845 number.

For Projector Repair & Restoration

Original Kodak Carousel and Ektagraphic projectors have now been in service for decades. Mechanical components such as springs can become worn, damaged, distorted, or lost during previous repairs.

Having the correct replacement part allows these projectors to be serviced while retaining the original mechanism rather than improvising with a generic spring.

Installation

Installation requires access to the projector's internal mechanical assembly. Disconnect the projector from electrical power before beginning service.

Correct spring placement and orientation are important to proper operation. When possible, refer to the appropriate Kodak service documentation for your projector model during disassembly and installation.
